DebiChem Cheminformatics packages

The CDK is a library of Java classes used in computational and information chemistry and in bioinformatics. It includes renderers, file IO, SMILES generation/parsing, maximal common substructure algorithms, fingerprinting and much, much more.

OPSIN (Open Parser for Systematic IUPAC Nomenclature) converts IUPAC compound names to semantic chemical information and outputs a structure either as CML (Chemical Markup Language), SMILES, or InChI.

This package contains the Java library.

Open Babel is a chemical toolbox designed to speak the many languages of chemical data. It allows one to search, convert, analyze, or store data from molecular modeling, chemistry, solid-state materials, biochemistry, or related areas. Features include:

• Hydrogen addition and deletion
• Support for Molecular Mechanics
• Support for SMARTS molecular matching syntax
• Automatic feature perception (rings, bonds, hybridization, aromaticity)
• Flexible atom typer and perception of multiple bonds from atomic coordinates
• Gasteiger-Marsili partial charge calculation

File formats Open Babel supports include PDB, XYZ, CIF, CML, SMILES, MDL Molfile, ChemDraw, Gaussian, GAMESS, MOPAC and MPQC.

This package includes the following utilities:

• obabel: Convert between various chemical file formats
